Do You Need an Experienced and Trusted Elder Care Attorney in New Jersey to Help You With Your Elder Law Needs?
Elder care attorneys understand elder law. It is a practice area that has evolved over the past 30 years.
Thirty years ago (30) there was no such thing as elder care law. The closest practice area to elder law was Estate Planning. Why? Because the population was much younger. The percentage of persons over age 65 to persons under the age of 40 was much less. But that has all changed. Today the population of America is exploding with persons over the age of 65 and as a result the need for legal advice, services and assistance to aging persons has dramatically increased. Yet, the population of experienced elder care attorneys providing meaningful elder law information and services to the public has not kept up with the demand. Fortunately, you have found our website, dedicated to helping individuals, families, and friends find relevant and helpful information about elder law and elder care-related topics.

TESTIMONIAL
First, I just wanted to thank you so much for the time, and most of all, for the knowledge, concern and support you so generously gave me during our meeting on May 26th. I walked out of your office feeling much more confident and very relieved. I’m not sure how you will take this, but you are an extraordinary human being and the antithesis of the stereotypical lawyer. A usually skeptical person, I trusted you from the moment I shook your hand! In addition, every member of your staff with whom I came in contact with was courteous, respectful, and helpful. You and your partners have created a very special environment, and you should be commended.

Mrs. Fanok was a true professional who returned calls, emails and kept our family informed throughout the whole process. It was a pleasure to work with her the past year. I would recommend your firm and especially Mrs. Fanok anytime, and already have. She has shown our family true compassion and dedication to our case. She, in my opinion, is a tremendous and valuable asset to your firm. Our family thanks you, Mrs. Fanok.

TESTIMONIAL
I am a NJ attorney with 40+ years of experience in the practice of law. Medicaid applications are not my area of expertise. I consulted with three law firms who specialize in this area of law. Thankfully, I chose Hanlon Niemann & Wright. The firm is professional, knowledgeable, efficient and responsive. My sister received notice of enrollment into the Medicaid program within 40 days after the law firm filed the application. Lorraine Banach, my legal assistant contact at the firm, was excellent. I will recommend Hanlon Niemann & Wright to all my family, friends and clients who are in need of legal services concerning Medicaid law.

Is it Time to Meet With a NJ Elder Care Lawyer Experienced in New Jersey Elder Law?
Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, stroke, and other life-altering conditions strike terror in us all. A person with deteriorating health requires your patience and compassion . . . and for us as attorneys, appropriate planning. This is where we come in.
When a loved one is dealing with health issues, when he or she must transition from independent living at home to a nursing home or assisted living residence, you probably have lots of questions… and concerns. What if your loved one is younger in age and is now diagnosed with an early on-set condition, like Huntington’s Disease or ALS? Have you been given conflicting advice from family and friends? Do you worry about family finances and paying for your loved one’s care while protecting a lifetime of income and savings? Have you been told that your spouse, parent, family member, or friend will not qualify for Medicaid? Do you have questions about transferring or gifting money and assets to protect them from nursing home costs and long-term care? What about guardianship, conservatorship and/or estate planning? Is a legal protective arrangement appropriate to address concerns of financial exploitation and abuse?
Fredrick P. Niemann, Esq. and the attorneys at Hanlon Niemann & Wright have assisted individuals and families with elder care planning for decades. We have the qualifications, extensive knowledge, and experience to advise you about eligibility for Medicare programs, Medicaid, and other government benefit programs. We have worked with thousands of families and individuals just like you and yours.
TESTIMONIAL
Early Dementia, Alzheimer’s. My Mom’s health deteriorated to the point she required full-time care. She wanted to live at home, but required regular help with the essentials of daily living (i.e. dressing, bathing, etc.). As her caregiver daughter, the responsibilities fell on me to figure out what to do. Thank goodness for Hanlon Niemann & Wright and Mr. Niemann. He met with me and explained all of my options for my mom, from at home/community care, assisted living, state, county and local programs for the elderly, financial eligibility for benefits, Medicaid qualification, pharmaceutical assistance, utility aid, Medicare and Veteran’s benefits, etc. While I felt overwhelmed by it all, Mr. Niemann clearly was in control of what could be done for Mom. We engaged him to make applications for subsidized at-home care and assistance through available grant programs and as part of his services to us, he is counseling us on a reverse mortgage, income and financial products to enhance Mom’s monthly income and to reduce her expenses. Mom would tell me to let Mr. Niemann make all the decisions although I am her Power of Attorney. I value so much his confident and generally caring manner. If you’re trying to help your Mom, Dad or family member deal with a life-changing health condition, call Hanlon Niemann. I’m glad I did and so is Mom.

On July 8 and July 9th, Madeline Tulipani, the Director of Education and Community Outreach at Hanlon Niemann & Wright and I visited with many healthcare providers in Monmouth and Middlesex County. What a great time we had visiting with friends and professional co-workers and boy! did I learn a lot about their services to our aging county residents and family members. My sincere thanks to Sunrise at Marlboro, the Monmouth County office on Aging, Monmouth Crossings, Golden Years Adult Medical Day Care Center, Seabrook Village, Francis Asbury Manor, Senior Bridge Humana at Home at the Monroe Branch, Sunnyside Manor in Wall, and the Arbors in Spring Lake, for their warm welcome and exchange of information. This tour was so successful and such an eye opener for me that I have asked Mrs. Tulipani to schedule us one day per month through the end of the year to visit with other healthcare providers. Be expecting a phone call from Madeline asking to schedule us for a time to visit and say hello and learn about the services and benefits you provide to the community.
Madeline and I look forward to our visits together.

TESTIMONIAL
The Hanlon Niemann law firm took my case when others wouldn’t. They worked hard to get my Mom the Medicaid Insurance that she deserved. My mom is handicapped and at only 75 years of age too young to be placed in a nursing home. Now, thanks to the hard work done by Fred and Diane, she can remain at the place she has called home for the past 4 years. If it wasn’t for them, her time at the assisted living facility would have been limited. Both mom and I can sleep better these days and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Thanks again, Fred and Diane!

TESTIMONIAL
My wife and I wanted to express our gratitude for the guidance and patience from you and your staff along this journey. Life is strange at times and the things that bring us together can be just as strange, if not more. I not only got to put a few bucks in the bank, but got to reconnect with my cousin Sarah, which was a great surprise for me. That alone was worth the journey for me. Getting to know her and the family has been really nice.
I know it was a long day for all of us in mediation, but I really am blessed to have gotten to know you and talk with you. I admire your skills, work ethic and attitude regarding time and Patience. When the opposing attorney was running her big mouth and doing her thing, you never lost your composure, nor your position. I’m hoping it’s one of the nuggets I’m able to take and implement in my personal/professional life.
The short version of this story is that you have a lot to offer people, you’re a true, trusted advisor. Your words and actions seem to align with your values, which is like common sense, very hard to come by now a days. Your staff does a great job as well. Please let them know that as often as you can.
Keep up the good work Fred and thanks again.
